FLURRY PUBLISHER NETWORK (“FFP NETWORK”)
Description and Use
Flurry operates an advertising network in which Flurry sells Recommendations (as defined below) to advertisers for display in applications within a network of publishers (“Flurry for Publisher Network,” or “FFP Network”). In order for Publisher to participate in the FFP Network and display Recommendations within Publisher’s applications, Publisher must integrate the Flurry software development kit ("SDK") into Publisher’s application(s). Flurry Analytics site code (“Agent”), Flurry's processing code for Flurry’s Analytics Service, and the SDK are collectively referred to herein as "Software.” Publisher agrees that Flurry may require Publisher to use the then-current version of any and all Software in order to participate in the Flurry for Publisher Network.
By participating in the FFP Network you hereby grant Flurry the right to (a) access, index and cache requests made from your applications and (b) send you Recommendations for you to display within your applications. “Recommendations” means digital advertising campaigns promoting a product or service, including without limitation, App Recommendations, Video Recommendations, Retargeting Recommendations and display advertisements. A Recommendation may include Flurry for Advertisers rewards, an optional feature which allows for the integration of a virtual currency system within the Recommendation in order to reward for installs or views. Flurry, as the principal, will solely sell all Recommendations in the FFP Network, including resolving advertiser disputes.
Flurry agrees not to transmit any Recommendations to you that are unlawful, deceptive, defamatory, libelous, harassing, abusive, fraudulent or obscene. You may also request that Flurry block Recommendations from a list of specified third parties, and Flurry agrees to use reasonable efforts to block the transmission of such third parties’ Recommendations to You.

For Flurry Recommendations distributed by You within Your applications, Flurry will pay You a percentage of Advertising Revenue associated with the following “End-User Actions”:

"Advertising Revenue" shall mean revenue earned and collected by Flurry for Recommendations distributed within your application net of fees received for use of personas (if applicable), taxes, agency commissions, carrier and/or third party fees (e.g., credit card processing fees), affiliate network fees, and allowances for bad debt, returns, cash discounts or promotional allowances.
Flurry shall pay you within approximately sixty (60) days after the end of the calendar month in which the Advertising Revenue was earned and collected by Flurry, provided that Flurry will only send you a payment if your earned balance is greater than $250 USD. In addition, Flurry may offset any payments due to you under this Agreement against any payments that are owed by you to Flurry (e.g. fees incurred in connection with your use of Flurry for Advertisers). If your Publisher account is inactive for a period of six (6) months, Flurry may, in its sole and absolute discretion, close such account and pay any remaining balance to you.
LIMITED LICENSES
Flurry hereby grants at no cost to Publisher a nonexclusive, limited, non-transferable, revocable, royalty-free and non-sublicensable license to (i) use the Software and (ii) distribute the SDK solely as necessary for the applications that Publisher owns and controls to be able to participate in the FFP Network. Publisher’s participation in the FFP Network and use of the Software and any accompanying documentation ("Documentation") is subject to the terms of the Agreement and does not include: (a) any resale, lease, rental, assignment or other transfer of rights of the Software or Documentation; (b) the distribution, public performance or public display of the Software or Documentation, (c) modification, revision, creation of derivative works from or otherwise making any derivative uses of the Software or Documentation or any information or content therein; (d) decompilation, reverse engineering or otherwise attempting to derive the source code for the Software; or (e) any use of the Software or Documentation other than for its intended purpose. Flurry hereby reserves all rights not expressly granted herein.

Such unauthorized use may also violate applicable laws, including but not limited to, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.
Publisher hereby grants Flurry a nonexclusive, limited, royalty free and revocable license to (1) host, serve, route and send Recommendations to Publisher for display in applications and (2) purchase Publisher’s inventory.

Unless you have expressly agreed otherwise, Flurry will not disclose to any third parties any User Data collected under the Agreement from your applications or participation in the FFP Network in a manner that is specifically attributable to you, your applications or your end users; provided, however, that Flurry may disclose User Data to an advertiser regarding the conversion of such advertiser’s Recommendation in your application. You will not (and will not allow any third party to) (i) track or collect personally identifiable information of end users under the Agreement or (ii) associate any data gathered from your application(s) or Recommendations with any personally identifying information from any source as part of your use (or such third parties' use) of the Agreement.

The opt-out is specific to Flurry activities and does not affect the activities of other ad networks or analytics providers that Publisher uses. If an end user opts-out, (a) Flurry will stop tracking data for the device identified by the provided MAC address and/or device identifier going forward and (b) the Flurry Analytics tracking will stop across all applications within the FFP Network. In addition, Flurry will stop providing ads and/or Recommendations to that MAC address and/or device identifier across all publishers. Publisher agrees to obtain all end-user consents required by applicable law as part of Publisher’s entering into this Agreement.
You agree that you will not place Recommendations (1) in any application labeled or described as a "Kids" or "Children" application; (2) in connection with any application, advertisement or service directed towards children; or (3) to collect any personal information from children.
